What they are talking about, is in the write-up he says to remove the top plate from the stock coilover set-up without a spring compressor!! It cannot be stressed enough how dangerous this is because of the amount of pressure the spring has stored when the entire coilover system is assembled.KStacoma said:It is possible to do it safely w/o a compressor, i just crank my coilover ring allllll the way down to the bottom and the spring loses it's tension and is safely able to be disassembled now. But.....that's just me lol don't take my advice for it, i odnt want to get sued lol
The basic fabtech coilovers can safely be taken apart by adjusting them all the way down. that will take all the pressure off the spring.Dyingyak said:What they are talking about, is in the write-up he says to remove the top plate from the stock coilover set-up without a spring compressor!!

I know this..I have SAWs, if you read my post I was referring to where you said you can remove the top plate off the stock coilover. I said nothing about the fabtech coilovers.atwinda said:The basic fabtech coilovers can safely be taken apart by adjusting them all the way down. that will take all the pressure off the spring.
If you try to desassembly your springs without a coil compressor IT IS dangerous, and you won't be able to get the new assembly together (that bit only works with the fabtech, and I believe saw coilovers).4xClover said:Hmmm...might have to try that! Then again, my springs are still stock ('98 w/ 94k) and seriously inverted---might just be time to get new ones!!
